However, it was Kangtae that answered Eress question.

Why are you so curious? Isnt he just a genius?

Im glad to see youre so relaxed. Truly.

Eres sighed after seeing Kangtae.

To be honest, she had to admit to some extent if she were to fit the pieces that he showed to her.

Clementine always preferred to be prepared for any variables and cases and was also excellent at properly distributing and executing with the information he had.

He had also unleashed and distributed below to gather information and prepare for any contingencies. Keldian had complaints regarding inefficiency, while Eres herself was worried that it gave too much pressure to the people and Kangtae not really giving it much thought. However, she knew now that if he prepared 10 things, 5 of them had become useless, 3 being significantly useful while the other 2 were to spare their lives. Perhaps, without Clementine, it would be right to say that their numbers would have decreased more than half while they ascended. It could be true that they could have all been annihilated.

However This isnt it.

Meticulous preparation and information gathering along with reasoning and assumptions, these were enough to explain everything so far up to now. However, there was no explanation that could be made regarding this location, Noah.

He had said it was north, but it was well over hundreds of thousands of kilometers that they had traversed to reach this place. This huge white structure was mysterious and was not detectable with their skills or abilities.

Such a guy was able to discover such a thing buried beneath the ground. Not only that, there were a few unsettling aspects as they arrived there.

Strange.

Clementine smiled and asked, I have something I want to ask. If you answer my question Ill answer yours.

What is it?

Eres narrowed her expression and asked back, causing Clementine to smile and reply, Eres, you said youve wanted to save as many people and join up with them. You said that everyone had unlimited possibilities.

Eres subconsciously nodded. She truly thought like that and believed that only people could be believed in this damned world. Humans were permitted to become infinitely stronger and were the only way to fight back against the species.

As each Adventurer became stronger, all of them would become stronger when grouped up. The only question in hand was how to unite and lead them.

Furthermore, Eres had used all her power to practice her beliefs and so far had not been proven that her practices were wrong. From the nod of Eres, Clementine smiled and asked another question, Im really curious If you had the authority to enter the New World with those you pick, would you truly choose everyone by just looking at their possibilities alone?

Clementine who had finished speaking looked toward the South.

Booooooooooooom!

John Stone breathed in as the slime-like creatures attacked. Though they looked easy, it was resistant to all kinds of attacks and was able to melt ones skin with just touch alone. It would digest the melted bodies of its opponents to recover its health and even enlarge in size.

Damn This slime is basically a level one dragon! What the hell is this?!

It was meaningless to freeze or burn it. Even if he used poison, it would simply devour it and replenish its health. When he first saw it, he had wondered what he could do to capture it. John Stone soon raised his right arm.

In that instant

Baaaaaaaaang!

A tremendous tremor surged on John Stones fingertips as he used those vibrations to attack the outer layer of its skin.

Chiiiiiiiiing.

He could clearly hear its skin melting. However, John Stone also heard another sound.

The sound of millions of cores that made up its body being thrown into chaos and confusion by the vibrations.

As soon as he heard that sound, he raised his ax with his left hand and swung it down.

With a large roar

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A red-colored ax cut through the slime. Normally, even when cut, it would stick its body back and attack, but this time, it was different.

As if its body was like shattered ice, the hardened slime broke into pieces and was shattered.

Seeing this, John Stone raised his voice and shouted, Raise your vibrations and prioritize paralyzing the core before smashing it! Let me know if you find a better way!

Okay Kyahaha!

Boooooom!

Soon

Skills roared out from all directions as the warriors that had survived up to the 7th Zone gradually pushed out the Slimes in formation. There were no warriors who couldnt do what John Stone said. As long as they had the solution, there was no reason for them to be pushed back.

John Stone, who hadnt relaxed even with an advantage in the battlefield, let out a sigh of relief.

He was hoping that another new species wouldnt pop out apart from the Slimes.

Its done. Its a bit better.

Normally, another species should have popped out with a different appearance and specialty or even devil-like beasts.

The reason why they were pushed back so far until now was because of that.

It was difficult to fight these alien species that were entirely different in form and appearances with varied qualities. They were easy to deal with once one knew their weaknesses, but since they were new species, they couldnt possibly know how to start.

However, at some point, the new reinforcements of other species began to slow down. Though the numbers didnt decline, it was the same monsters that came rushing in. This was why he couldnt help but relax.

Then, after a while

Ruuuuuuumble!

After destroying the last monster, one of the Adventurers let out a large cry.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Its over!

They had finally finished killing the large monster with the horn and had cleaned up.

Whew.

John Stone, who was finally able to sigh with ease, closed his thoughts.

We need to catch up.

From what he heard, those that had already come up had already moved up north. Though this location was important, they had to make sure to gain control using whatever method.

Alright Though the rest may be tired, we can recover as we travel north.

John Stone loudly shouted, Wait! Dont rest! Lets work just a bit longer! We need to go up!

John Stones cry resonated throughout the place. Everyone who heard that voice had already heeded his advice when they were fighting the Slimes, so they had no need to doubt his words. Unfortunately, there were some that had different reactions from before.

Why are they like this?

Seeing the silent ones, John Stone frowned.

-

Booooooooooooooom!

Ahhhhh! Really! Hey! Why are we the only ones working!

Hosang shouted after crushing the monsters that rushed at them. There were literally enemies everywhere. Since he had helped Hansoo before, he thought that he would receive some help if he looked like he was struggling, but he had to fix his mentality since he might be thrown into the front and possibly die.

He thought that Hansoo might have become a tad softer from their talk, but there were no exceptions when he was needed.

Booooooom!

Hansoo, who crushed one of the beasts in front of him, quietly muttered, We dont need guys that cant be controlled.

There was no disappointment since he didnt have expectations, to begin with. If he had some expectations, he wouldnt have come up here alone, to begin with. He would have ascended up and ordered them around to his liking. However, Hansoo had no confidence that he could control them all. He wondered how he could control millions and hundreds of millions of people under his command. It was a number that was beyond the limit of his Pandemic Blade.

To compare, he was a warrior that fought in the vanguard, not a general or even a king. He felt it was easier to resolve a situation by swinging his hammer once then investing the time to command them.

Hosang asked with a flabbergasted face, What? Us?

Hansoo shrugged his shoulders.

There was no need to explain.

From Hansoos attitude, Hosang and the rest gnashed their teeth. The guy was right.

They had let them do as they would in the first place, but the difference in their positions was clear. He was the owner, and they were the slaves.

It was just that he put himself forward and didnt rest so that was a little better. No, he was always focused on crushing the enemy by fighting the hardest in the very front.

By the way

Is he getting stronger? Or is he just recovering?

Hosang fought with a blank look on his face.

It should be normal for one to be tired when fighting. However, he continued to use his skills with more force as the battle progressed.

Like the time before, a huge swarm of insects similar to the ones that roared previously with deafening buzzing sounds.

They were similar, but it was clearly different from the previous swarm of insects.

This time, they werent his subordinates, but beasts that held enmity toward them. They even looked different. Each bee was as big as a human palm, and there were literally millions of them. Even if one were to use a skill, it was basically the same as cupping water out of a lake.

At that moment

Booooooom!

He put his foot down, and yellow clouds shot out into all directions. The moment the black cloud and the yellow cloud mixed, an unexpected event occurred.

Kaaaaaaaaaaak!

Kyaaaaaaaaaak!

The insects that were flying toward them in a straight line began to look and bite each others bodies, including their wings and legs.

This was the authority of Melcassaris.

Before He wasnt able to utilize it at such a wide range.

While Hosang was drooling after seeing the yellow smoke cause the beasts to fight each other, Hansoo spoke briefly, Were almost there.

Huh? When

Wriiiiiiiiiiing!

Once the black clouds began to fade while fighting amongst one another, a scene appeared before them.

It was a clear passage through a white surface.

However, they began to see something different.

Wooooooooooooooong!

Is that power restoring?

Though his description was sloppy, Hosang spoke exactly how he felt.

Literally, a large hull was slowly lighting up and was radiating with a blue light. Seeing this, Hansoo mumbled, Choose one or the other.

Destruction or manipulation.

What Clementine had chosen in his previous life was the large ship, Noahs destruction.

Though he didnt know how to control it, or if he had another reason, Clementine was actively rushing in to try and destroy it while he and his comrades fought desperately to stop him from doing so.

However, he didnt know this time as well.

What will you do? Hansoo muttered as he saw the ship light up.
